More details have emerged regarding the potential cancellation of Saw XI.
On Monday, March 17, 2025, Bloody Disgusting reported that, according to an anonymous source close to the production of Saw XI, the horror sequel has been “100% over” for “almost a year now.” The outlet’s source said that the movie’s producers “started fighting with one another” and couldn’t get past their disagreement, meaning that Saw XI will probably either be delayed or, perhaps even more likely, canceled altogether.
As of now, Lionsgate has not publicly given any comments regarding the issue. The movie in question still has a scheduled release date of September 26, 2025.
What is the latest Saw XI update?
Patrick Melton, along with his writing partner Marcus Dunstan, has not received any news about the Saw XI movie since they submitted their script in the spring of 2024. They have been waiting to hear updates on the project from the production team.
“It’s stalled at a managerial level,” Melton said. “It has nothing to do with the creative or anything else. There’s higher-level things at play.”
The Hollywood Reporter’s article further notes that it’s unclear at this time whether or not director Kevin Greutert, who directed Saw X, is still attached to helm Saw XI. Greutert was initially announced as the film’s director in February 2024.
“The reason it’s held up is just, there’s inter-squabbling between producers and Lionsgate,” Melton said. “They just can’t quite get on the same page.”
Melton compared Saw XI’s story to 2009’s Saw VI — also directed by Greutert and co-written by Melton and Dunstan —which was one of the more favorably received Saw sequels by fans and critics.
“Saw XI may or may not be made, but we have a very timely story in it, and I hope it gets made just because of that,” he explained. “It taps into the same themes of Saw VI, where you’re a citizen, you feel angry and frustrated with something, you feel like you can’t do anything, and John Kramer’s going to do it.”
